I believe that Druids should be favored in distributing this cloak as there are cloaks with block value/rating and parry rating that they will never benefit from. Not to mention they get more benefit from the armor than any other class. It seems obvious that a mixture of green armor and high dodge rating has druid written all over it. I think the only reason it has defense on it is for runs where there is no tanking druid that wants it. Maybe I haven't seen all the gear, but I bet there will be better cloaks for pally/warrior. (Who knows about DK)

Comparing this with the Emblem of Valor cloak:

+15 Strength+336 Armor+1 Dodge Rating

-32 Hit Rating-13 Defense

This cloak is superior for tanking high-damage mobs like raid bosses, but loses out somewhat on threat. Rather than this cloak being a "Feral Druid" or "Warrior" item, it's actually a Main Tank item as opposed to an Off Tank one. All tanking classes benefit from having the increased damage mitigation this cloak provides.

Even as an offtank I'd definitly get it as soon as possible (after the maintank), for my "high mitigation"-set for fights such as patchwerk or so.

In the aftermath of Patch 3.0.8, druids have an 8.75 multiplier on base armor, and a 1.02 multiplier on bonus armor, assuming Dire Bear Form, Survival of the Fittest, Thick Hide, and Austere Earthseige Diamond. Any armor on neckpieces, rings, trinkets, weapons, and extra armor on cloaks recieves the lower multiplier while all other armor, including base armor on cloaks, recieves the higher one.

In this case, this cloak has 490 total armor, 336 bonus armor, and therefore a base of 154 armor. The total Bear Form armor granted by this cloak is:(154 * 8.75) + (336 * 1.02) = 1690 Armor

It is the best mitigation cloak for a feral tank currently ingame.

To be fair, on Patchwerk the main tank is the off tank. The off tanks actually take the real beating, and your best geared tank(s) should be OT(s).

I think your math is a little off. Where are you getting 8.75?

If i use your calculations on my current gear it puts me over 60k armor....

Not only is that far beyond the armour cap but seemingly impossible to obtain such a high number.

By my calculations, after the druid changes you should get 546%(or 548% if you have the meta gem) additional armour contribution from items not 875%

My calculations would give this cloak after the anticipated patch:(154 * 5.48) + (336 * 1.02) = 1186.64 Armour (I am unsure if game mechanics would round this down or up.

Overall these changes are going to be great for druid tanks. I can't wait until it goes live.

By the way, currentlythis cloak gives 2361.8 Armour with all of the talents and bonuses listed above.

This multiplier is only applied to the sum of the base armor on your head, shoulders, back, chest, wrists, hands, waist, legs, and feet.

The armor on your weapon, rings, trinkets, and any bonus armor is multiplied only by the 1.02 from the Austere Earthseige Diamond.

You're multiplying the buffs incorrectly. They should be ADDED. Not Multiplied with eachother.

Dire bear form gives 470% which would be a multiplier of +4.7

Thick Hide gives 10% which isn't 1.10 but is +.10. You're adding as if it was 110%...

SoTF will give 66% which is +.66 NOT 1.66. You're adding it as if it was 166%...

Austere Earthseige gives 2% which is +.02. You're adding it as if it was 102%...

So the Base Armour multiplier is 5.48 or 548% TOTAL with all Talents and Gems.

These buffs do not Multiply eachother. They add together and STACK to multiply your base armour.

You're adding this as if Austere Earthseige Diamond multiplies armour AFTER Dire Bear Form Armour is calculated. Which would not be "from items" as it clearly states in the item's description(not to mention all the other ability and item descriptions).

Again, do you REALLY think that blizzard would allow a druid to go far, far beyond the Armour cap from Naxx gear(Or quest gear for that matter?) If you use your own calculations on your current gear and find that your result is a bit questionable. Maybe it's a good idea to go back and check your math.

Currently(pre-patch) It's very difficult for a druid to reach the armour cap and still be effective as a tank by maintaining proper itemization and stats. If you used your current calculations and omitted the 66% gain from SoTF you'd still be beyond the cap because you're adding an extra 200%.

Do the calculations and try to emulate the way the game calculates your armour currently. You'd be surprised how innacurate a decimal or two can make things.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------As an experiment, lets use YOUR calculations really quick and assume that the druid in question has 6000 Base Armour from equipped items before any multipliers and no bonus armour from misc gear or enchants.

6000(4.7+0.1+0.66+0.02) = 32880 A little More realistic don't you think?

Edited to add examples.

Example of armor calculations:This is an item summary containing a fairly random assortment of level 80 tank-ish armor. The first column contains items with only base armor, the second has the cloak (a special case), and the third contains items with only bonus armor. The exact pieces in the first column don't really matter, as the armor on the items available would vary by a few hundred in total at most.

The first column has a total of 3260 armor, to which we add the 154 base armor on this cloak, for a sum of 3414 base armor on the set.The bonus armor for that set is the 336 from this cloak plus the 2768 from the other pieces, for 3104 bonus armor.

3414 * 8.75 = 29873 base. To that, we add any armor from enchants, Agility, and bonus armor from cloaks, weapons, necklaces, rings, and trinkets- all of that being multiplied by 1.02 from the meta gem. Assuming no enchants for convenience:1.02 * (3104 + 1116) = 4304 (the 1116 comes from Agility)

29873 + 4304 = 34177 armor.

Unfortunately, the armor multiplier now only applies to leather. So your calculation is invalid. This cloak is worth exactly 490 armor to a bear druid.

However, the balance of high stamina, dodge and defense still make it the best bear tanking cloak in the game at the moment.

This screenshot shows that this exact setup ingame gives 1866 armor- a single point of difference (again, see note).These calculations have thus been demonstrated to be valid.

* Notes:Armor from Agility is actually calculated as a two-step process. First, the Survival of the Fittest talent is applied to the 22 Agility enchant and added to the race/class/level base Agility (81). This produces (81 + (22*1.06)) = 104.32. Armor from Agility is equal to twice the Agility stat, but the Agility stat is first stored ingame as the floored (rounded down) result of the previous calculation- that is, 104. This is then doubled for 208 armor. The discrepency in my calculations arose because I did not floor the value before doubling it.

Excellent for tanking Shamans, too.

...what? It is.

The 13 Defense that the Emblem cloak gives actually provides more avoidance. No math, I'm just switching them back and forth to see which provides more. As a paladin, with the Emblem Cloak I gain:

+0.08% dodge+0.09% parry+0.12% block+0.97% hit- 0.35% armor reduction

Both were enchanted with +16 Defense Rating.

I would really like to see a shammy dress up in full agi + def gear :D as i recall a bliz game manual said that in vanilla shammys were able to perform various tasks, tanking being one of them - would just want to see one prove me right :">
